The heroine and hero come together under challenging circumstances. The hero is trying to save the heroine's life (she's been poisoned). He has no emotional attachment to her. There's attraction, but not instant love. The hero actually believes he loves someone else. The heroine is smart enough to accept his offer because it will save her life. The relationship builds from there. It may be short, but it was packed with a lot of action and the emotions felt real. Great book. ( ) Tricked by Rebecca Zanetti From the Dark Protectors series, this novella is fast action filled romance with bullets flying, bad weather, house trashing, old flames, secrets, dying, and a girl fight. Not to mention some steamy sex too. Can be read without reading the series. In fact, it may be a god place to start. It will give you a good indicator of how the rest of the books flow, this one just being a bit compact. I actually really like how this author has a lot going on in the books and has an overall arc, but each is it's own little romance. A little heavy on the domination/protection theme but that is the basis of the line. And frankly, most books I've read by this author, regardless of the series have the same male and female traits to some degree. Sexy and powerful and heavy on the domination/protection. And oh, so fun to read. I haven't read any of the Dark Protectors series before (why? Why haven't I? I have no excuses here) but though it's clear that they have some connection (Tricked is the middle novella of three in the 1001 Dark Nights series dealing with three vampire brothers--between Teased and Tantalized) I did just fine starting here. I loved Jared and Ronni--he's all gruff and alpha and vampire-y and she's feisty and independent and...kinda likes for him to take charge sometimes. But hates it too. And loves it. It all makes for some fun reading ;) The novella format worked nicely here--the ending did come a bit quickly, and they did get to the "I love you"s after a fairly short amount of time, but somehow it doesn't feel like instalove when there's supernatural creatures involved. Especially supernatural creatures who double as sex gods. But I digress... This story was just enough to really whet my appetite for more from this series--at the very least, I'm going to get my hands on Teased ASAP and grab Tantalized as soon as it comes out! (Because, hello--I knew that witch was up to no good!) Rating: 4 stars / B+ I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. no reviews | add a review

HTML: From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti comes a new story in her Dark Protectors series... He Might Save Her Former police psychologist Ronni Alexander had it all before a poison attacked her heart and gave her a death sentence. Now, on her last leg, she has an opportunity to live if she mates a vampire. A real vampire. One night of sex and a good bite, and she'd live forever with no more weaknesses. Well, except for the vampire whose dominance is over the top, and who has no clue how to deal with a modern woman who can take care of herself. She Might Kill Him Jared Reese, who has no intention of ever mating for anything other than convenience, agrees to help out his new sister in law by saving her friend's life with a quick tussle in bed. The plan seems so simple. They'd mate, and he move on with his life and take risks as a modern pirate should. Except after one night with Ronni, one moment of her sighing his name, and he wants more than a mating of convenience. Now all he has to do is convince Ronni she wants the same thing. Good thing he's up for a good battle. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.** .No library descriptions found. |
